Gadsden Wrongful Termination Lawyers

When is a Job Termination Considered Wrongful in Alabama?

In Alabama, most employment is considered "at will". This form of employment follows the principle that either the employer or the employee may terminate the relationship at any point, for any reason. The only exception to "at-will" employment is that the employment can not be terminated in a manner that breaks the law.

Employment arrangements that do not qualify as "at will" are not subject to the same limitations and restrictions, so it is critical that you know how your work setup is classified. Work arrangements that are based on an employment contract are often not "at will", and so they cannot be terminated except according to the contract procedures.

What are the Illegal Grounds for Terminating At Will Employment in Alabama?

The most common illegal ground for terminating a Alabama employee is discrimination. An employer cannot terminate an employee simply for being of a certain race, nationality, religion or gender. An employer in Gadsden also cannot fire at-will employees in retaliation for the employee filing a claim for discrimination or seeking an investigation of discrimination against the employer.

Also, employers are prohibited by the Family and Medical Leave act from firing those employees who take leave in order to address family or medical concerns. Finally, an employer may not terminate an employee for refusing to do something illegal, for exercising a legal right, or performing a legal obligation.

Do I Need a Alabama Attorney for My Wrongful Termination Case?

In Gadsden, Alabama, a lawyer will be able to notify you about whether you are a victim of wrongful termination, and they will be able to guide you in preparing the necessary documents. Sometimes there can be procedures that are unique, and a lawyer can guide you in these as well.

11/04/2006Due to the free consult, the attorney and I were able to determine that at this time it would be futile to hire an attorney. This type of attorney is without a doubt more interested in providing their clients with valuable information; other then looking to gain value from charging fees when it has been determined the client does not need legal representation at this time.

01/12/2006Mr. Jason B. was far-flung what I expected a fine attorney to be. As I searched for the best possible help for my son, I was in contact with many lawyers who were negative and were only concerned about the cash.
Mr. B. was different and he listened very cautiously and did not prosecute my son when he saw him. He counseled my son to change his life and worked really hard to get the best end result possible for him. If I ever need another attorney or know anyone who does, I will definitely refer Mr. B..
Thanks,
Maria Serrano

09/11/2009Jason B. referred my case to a local lawyer, Jacob Diesselhorst. I have hired him to work my families case. Jacob has been very helpful and understands the problems of using two legal systems (Oklahoma and Ohio). He is currently working to settle our case. I would highly recommend Jacob and his firm, Nix & McIntyre, LLP. I would also like to say Thank You to Jason B. for referring Jacob to me. LEGAL MATCH COM WORKS!!!!!

04/02/2010Mr. J. was ethical. Furthermore, he was straightforward with me. He was knowledgable and attentive.
In a history of about 50 encounters, once he ran just a fuzz late. But to me, tiny snafus are part of living (I make mistakes such as and similar to small latenesses about 4 times a day in my work life and my personal life). He is still the best lawyer I have ever worked with. I have met or worked with about 10.
I almost put excellent rating instead of superior for "was the service was a good value for my money?" This because all attorneys cost too much. But Mr. J.'s fees were quite fair, even good, considering in his field, which happens to be basically a field of businesspeople who charge many times over too much. He did not do unecessary work on my case to get in extra money.

04/19/2012David's expertise in the area of law in which I needed representation was far superior to what my previous lawyers had given me, considering the higher than average fees they wanted, David came in at a reasonable price, and again his knowledge of the law in my case was outstanding!! I would hire him again, and definitely recommend David to friends and family.
